Sheraton Kaifeng

Sheraton Kaifeng is a full-service five-star hotel at No. 9 First Street in Longting District, Kaifeng, Henan, and is described as the city's first Marriott-group hotel. Kaifeng was the capital of the Northern Song dynasty and is famed for its historic sights, including the Millennium City Park, which recreates the Song dynasty painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival, the Iron Pagoda, Longting Park and the Kaifeng night markets. The hotel is in the newer part of the city, a short taxi ride from the old town, so visitors get modern comfort with easy access to the traditional core. Zhengzhou is about an hour away by fast train or road, and Kaifeng's own high-speed station connects to the wider network.

The hotel offers the polished, contemporary style of a Sheraton, with spacious rooms and a large lobby. Room types include Deluxe Rooms, Club Rooms and Suites, all with wifi and comfortable beds. Club Room guests generally have access to a lounge with breakfast and evening refreshments, which is a good option for travelers who want a quiet space. The overall atmosphere is business-friendly but also suits leisure visitors and couples on a heritage trip.

Dining includes restaurants and a bar. Kaifeng is one of Henan's culinary capitals, known for its night markets, soup dumplings (guantang baozi), peanut-based sweets and Song dynasty-inspired dishes, and the hotel's Chinese restaurant is likely to offer local specialities alongside a wide breakfast buffet of Chinese and Western options. Guests seeking street food are advised to visit the famous Gulou night market in the old town in the evening.

Facilities include a swimming pool and fitness center. Service is attentive, with staff who can arrange taxis, tickets for attractions and restaurant bookings. At roughly ¥500-800 per night, about $75-119, the hotel gives good value for a five-star brand and is a comfortable base for one or two nights in Kaifeng, particularly when combined with a stay in Zhengzhou and a day trip by train.
